One is limestone, where the calcium carbonate will be dissolved by an aqueous acid solution. Marble can also be degraded, although more slowly, because it is composed of the metamorphic minerals calcite and dolomite.

It depends on the rock. Actually , almost any rock will react over time to acid, but if you drop a small rock of limestone into a beaker of acid, it will fizz like and Alka-Seltzer tablet.
